Why aren't the dembots in the streets?

Congress just authorized warrantless wiretaps, and next week the regime begins new taxes on families with special needs children, the sick and disabled who require medical devices and the woking poor struggling to pay non covered medical expenses.

At what point did honorable men such as Hubert Horatio Humphrey, JFK and Scoop Jackson become too far to the right for the moonbat wing of the party.

This is their thing and still not a squeak from them about this Big Govt power grab.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, approved by the House of RepresentativesRepublican dominated! in September, passed the Senate with a 73-23 vote and broad bipartisan support, and now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature.

Luckily the regime can count on you to faithfully invoke doublethink and deny that any of it ever happened ... ths is just amazing, after 8 years of bleating about this, the cabal now asks me to believe they have always supprted warantless wiretaps.

What kind of feeding frenzy is really evident on the record, when your list features one post with absolutely no replies, two others with 3 and 4 posts, respectively? Padding, much?

Fact is, at the time of the complaints, this was illegal, and it was being lied about (W said he was obeying the law and getting the wiretap orders from the FISA court as the law provided).

In their wisdom (?), just as in the illegal suspension of habeus corpus under Lincoln, the Congress went back and retroactively, or after the fact, MADE IT LEGAL.

It's been legal for some time now. Another warrant (heh!) of its legality simply is now old news, and apparently wholly uncontroversial. That's what precedents do, over time. They make what was once feared and decried, instead a commonplace situation that no one comments upon. As you likely supported the W moves (not sure as you hadn't arrived here at that time and are not in the threads you cite), you should be proud that he was vindicated by the Congress, and his novel and aggressive moves have been codified in law for the use of any and all subsequent presidents.

As for your citing of JFK? His attorney general (RFK), while JFK was still alive, authorized the FBI to wiretap MLK, Jr., without court order.

On October 10, 1963, U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy committed what is widely viewed as one of the most ignominious acts in modern American history: he authorized the Federal Bureau of Investigation to begin wiretapping the telephones of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Kennedy believed that one of King's closest advisers was a top-level member of the American Communist Party, and that King had repeatedly misled Administration officials about his ongoing close ties with the man. Kennedy acted reluctantly, and his order remained secret until May of 1968, just a few weeks after King's assassination and a few days before Kennedy's own. But the FBI onslaught against King that followed Kennedy's authorization remains notorious, and the stains on the reputations of everyone involved are indelible.
